Counting unit

There are various counting units in the Korean language. '개', which means 'piece, item, object', is widely used when counting things and '명', which means 'person', is used when counting persons. '분' and '사람' are also used when counting persons, but '분' is the polite form and shows respect for the persons counted. These counting units do not occur as independent words, but are connected to numbers. The Korean numbers are used with these units, for example '다섯 개, 열 개', and '일곱 명, 아홉 명', and the name of things or persons should precede these expressions.

시계 다섯 개 five watches

책 일곱 개 seven books

학생 열 명 ten students

Several Korean numbers are changed when they used with counting units.
